Connect Gemini CLI

Connect Gemini CLI to ModelPort using MCP.

Setup

  1. Set MODELPORT_API_KEY in the environment used by Gemini CLI.
  2. Merge the server entry into ~/.gemini/settings.json or the project’s .gemini/settings.json. Restart and use /mcp to check the tools.

Gemini CLI configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "modelport": {
      "httpUrl": "https://apimodel.store/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${MODELPORT_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Verify the connection

Call list_models with {"available_only":false} to verify access to the catalog. Callable models depend on your account and region.
